school-based dental services

The International Examiner recently did a feature story on the new ICHS mobile dental clinic, coming this fall. The following is a short excerpt from the article:

“Thanks to a recent $440,000 federal grant, International Community Health Services (ICHS) will begin offering badly needed dental care to students this fall at 10 Seattle public schools through its innovative new ‘mobile dental clinic.’

The mobile dental clinic is essentially a large van, fully equipped with two dental rooms, designed to travel from location to location to provide a high degree of accessibility to school-age patients who might not otherwise see a dentist for care.”
